MAFIAAFire Redirector is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers. The software redirects links from domains that have been seized by governments to backup sites, in order to bypass the blocking. The software is open source. MAFIAAFire offers domain owners a preemptive way to "safeguard" themselves from government-sponsored domain seizures. Domain owners can register their main site and their mirror site on the site MAFIAAFire.com before their domain is seized. If their domain gets seized, the add-on will automatically start redirecting to the mirror site. Theoretically, this means that site owners will have zero downtime if their main domain is seized and their users have the MAFIAAFire Redirector add-on. In May 2011, the United States Department of Homeland Security has requested that Mozilla remove MAFIAAFire from its extensions directory, a request which Mozilla resisted.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mozilla resists US agency takedown request )〕 == General information == MAFIAAFire works by downloading a list which contains the names of the "blocked" sites as well as the sites to redirect to. This list is downloaded every time the user's web browser starts up or every two days (although the user has the choice to force an update). When a user types in a domain name from the list of blocked domains, the add-on recognizes this and automatically redirects the user to the secondary site. Since this happens before the browser connects to the DNS server, this renders any DNS blocks useless. Although the add-on checks for which sites are entered into the address bar every time (as it needs to check if that site is on its block list), it does not log these requests nor send these requests to any central server. In other words: it does not track the user. The source code has been released for both the Chrome and Firefox versions as open-source software for people to confirm all of MAFIAAFire's claims as well as improve the code or use the code in their own projects. MAFIAAFire can be classified as donationware as its authors claim to use any and all donations to further the project. The Firefox version was released first and the Chrome version was released after $90 was donated. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MAFIAAFire Redirector is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers.
